FUKAUMI Naoki, just to confirm:

Neither my suggested approach:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/aRHdeVCY3rRmxe80@ryzen/

nor Shawn's suggested approach:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/dc932773-af5b-4af7-a0d0-8cc72dfbd3c7@rock-chips.com/

worked for you?


If so, I don't see many alternative but for Mani to apply patch 1 and
patch 2 from this series.


Kind regards,
Niklas
